She said if she ever saw Stevie Wonder in person she
would cry her eyes out. I believe that Stevie Wonders
music is great myself and I think it is truly a blessing to
play the piano blind. Stevie Wonder is a hero to me and

The founder of the WGPR-TV, William Venoid Banks said that he tried to market the station towards urban audiences in Detroit Michigan. This station was aired in some parts of the suburbs but it was mainly in urban parts of the city. The Masons owned the majority of stock in WGPR-TV. The station broadcast mostly religious shows, R&B music shows, off network dramas, syndicated shows and older cartoons.
The reason why my grandmother chose this song wasbecause back then this was her most favorite hit in 1965. She had said that this song really taught her that all things are possible to happen and that you should have faith no matter what is happening. Also this song was very groovy back then and it was one of the most popular songs in the 60's. John Sebastians is one of my grandmothers favorite singers.
Article Title: 1965 Watts Riots
Article Summary:
1965 was one of the darkest years America had to face. There was plenty of racism and discrimination of African Americans. African Americans had struggled a lot with trying to get there freedom and have peace. Dr. Martin Luther King was one of the most powerful men and he had organized a march for Freedom. Most of he southern parts had riots. One Riot was called the Watts Riot. A man named Eldridge Cleaver had wrote a poem from the Riots.
Poem:
‘They walking in fours and kicking in doors; dropping Reds and busting heads; drinking wine and committing crime, shooting and looting, high-siding and low-riding, setting fires and slashing tires; turning over cars and burning down bars; making Parker mad and making me glad; putting an end to that ‘go slow’ crap and putting sweet Watts on the map -my Black ass is in Folsom but my Black heart is in Watts!’ —from “Soul on Ice,” by Eldridge Cleaver, 1968.
This was a very important event that many people should be aware of and that they should take this in consideration.
